How to prioritize maintenance and CAPEX across a complex venue portfolio with scattered data and tight deadlines?

Context

VIPARIS operates major exhibition and congress venues across Île-de-France. Post-COVID recovery, pre-Olympics requirements and budget constraints made it hard to justify CAPEX while maintenance debt grew. Data and know-how were dispersed across sites, with high turnover. VIPARIS needed a shared asset register and 5–15-year scenarios to prioritize works, manage risk and integrate energy/carbon constraints.

What did we do?

  • Structured a homogeneous asset register in Simeo (site / building / components).
  • Captured expert knowledge via workshops and consolidated dispersed files/data.
  • Calibrated aging laws, maintenance actions and cost curves for each domain.
  • Simulated 5–15-year investment paths incl. risk, energy and decarbonation to support COMEX.
